The War on Cancer presses ever onward, but some decisive battles appear to have been won. This video from SciShow details the FDA approval of a CAR-T cell therapy treatment for leukemia and promising research in using Zika virus to treat brain cancer.

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a handheld mass spectrometer with real-time results. As this video shows, the MasSpec Pen may be used during surgery to identify cancerous tissue within 10 seconds using only a drop of water.

One of the greatest questions in Science is: Why is there Consciousness? In this video from Science, Researchers conducted experiments to determine the extent to which our beliefs influence our perception, and how much our mental health effects that perception.

This video by Science explains the oVert (Open Exploration of Vertebrate Diversity in 3D) project, or as many scientists know it as "scan-all-vertebrates" project. Thanks to the funding by the National Science Foundation, this David Blackburn project will lead an effort to CT scan more than 20,000 vertebrate specimens and upload images of 3D models to a free online database.

With the rapid advancement of CRISPR technology, it is easy to become confused with just what the science has told us about the new frontier of gene editing. This new video from SciShow breaks down just what we learned from the recent U.S. use of CRISPR/Cas9 to edit human embryos to prevent hypertrophic myocardiopathy (HCM).

What if matching a cancer cure to our genetic code was easy? The promise of precision medicine is to deliver the right treatments at the right time, every time, to the right person. This video by Time explains how precision medicine is going to revolutionize the way healthcare is delivered to patients.

Gary Johnson, Ph.D., chair and professor in the department of pharmacology at UNC, whose laboratory is part of the IDG technology development group, discusses some of his current research in a video published by GEN's eXpertTech Druggable Genome series.

Researchers are now able to use non-destructive methods to learn more about a book than just what’s written in it. In this video from Science, a 12th-century codex reveals data on wildlife management, DNA of some readers, and human-born bacteria.

Science covers a study that linked genes to a behavioral trait the researchers think was pivotal to dog domestication. Are the same genes involved in human Williams-Beuren syndrome also involved in the sociability in dogs?

Eadweard Muybridge’s famous horse locomotion motion-picture sequence was recently encoded onto DNA using CRISPR technology. In this video from Harvard Medical School, George Church, Ph.D., and Seth Shipman, Ph.D., explain how they engineered the technology that enables the chronological recording of digital information in living bacteria.

Watch astronauts play catch with a gecko-inspired gripper by Science Robotics. Engineers are building grippers inspired by the bottoms of gecko feet—and are testing it for space in NASA’s zero-gravity aircraft and have sent it to the International Space Station. They think the grippers could help automate repair processes and may be useful in future projects clearing up space debris cluttering Earth’s orbit.

Ruptured eardrums are relatively common. Fortunately, small tears usually heal by themselves. But some large tears need to be repaired by a surgeon. This animation shows how a new tissue-engineering technique could make that process much easier and cheaper. The technique uses a scaffold and growth factor to stimulate the eardrum’s own cells to grow over the tear.

This video by the BBC covers the world's first clinical trial of 3D printed bionic hands for child amputees that started this week in Bristol. They are made by a South Gloucestershire company which only launched four years ago. If the trial is successful the hands will become available on the NHS, bringing life-changing improvements for patients.

Could the hammer-headed fruit bat be the answer to one of virology's dark mysteries? Where does the deadly Ebola virus lurk? In this video by Science, Biologists trap and sample giant fruit bats, the suspected reservoir of the deadly virus.

By 2050 climate change may make restless nights more frequent. A 1°C increase could spell 110 million more restless nights for Americans. This video by Science shows how the conclusion was made from the largest study yet on sleep and temperature.

Insect-transmitted viruses like Powassan and West Nile virus may cause neurological complications. UW Medicine scientists explain their work on how the brain fends off a West Nile virus infection. A trigger that, in other cells, sets off cell death, actually protects infected brain cells and instead calls up the body's defenses to try to clear the infection.

In this video, Meredith Wadman, a reporter for Science magazine, sits down and gives the real facts about the current state of vaccination—it saves lives. In particular, she takes aim at the Anti-Vaxxers in reporting that the federal Vaccine Court has never found a case of vaccination causing autism.

For a long time, insect flight was a mystery: How do they stay aloft with large bodies and small wings? For mosquitos, the puzzle is slightly different: How do they fly while moving their wings through only a small angle with each flap? This Nature video finally solves this aerodynamic problem.

While we do not have a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), researchers are attempting to understand the mechanisms that cause nerve cell death in the disease. This video from Nature describes our current understanding of how ALS damages the ability for DNA to repair itself.
